every once and a while when i get on the throttle my car will rev up and boost up at normal rates but there isn't as much power as there should be. but when i let off the throttle for a second and get on it again the problem goes away. Ive done a boost leak test and don't have any leaks. it doesn't do it to often but when it does it makes me nervous. I'm afraid its something major.
could it be crank walk?
i have new spark plugs and wires and some minor mods but nothing to the fuel delivery system or computer.
any help would be awsome!
 
ok cool that is a load off my chest. i was afraid my engine was going. but ill still get a logger and check things out. i dont have a fuel pressure guage so i dont really know.
i just dropped about 150 bills on new drilled and slotted brakes and pads. so money is kinda tight as of now.
thank you so much for all your help. ill set thread as resolved
